Overview
- ProInversión confirmed it will present a detailed concession plan for the Talara refinery in January 2027 that outlines how a private operator would invest and run the facility.
- Under the proposed model a private company would provide large capital and take on day‑to‑day administration while Petroperú would retain formal ownership and could receive a share of profits.
- Two Petroperú unions, STAPP and Fenpetrol, have publicly rejected the plan and demanded a halt until the Constitutional Court rules on Decreto de Urgencia 010‑2025 and until contract obligations, investor recovery terms and revenue sharing are disclosed.
- ProInversión and Luis Del Carpio cite the scale of Talara’s recent modernization—reported at more than US$6 billion—as the reason the refinery needs specialized management and external financing to improve operations and produce reliable cash flows.
- The agency is packaging other Petroperú assets for the market, including Conchán, southern terminals and jungle operations, while key contract details for Talara remain undefined and potential investors are expected to review technical, financial and legal terms after the January presentation.
